chaos personified
The Build:
First of all building it... what a fun task this was! (Honestly I mean it, hardware tinkering is where my heart is) It started off with a breadboard and some jumper wires, and now has turned into a carved out etched board with even finer solder points.
(Pics coming on this soon)
PSGroove Code:
After looking through the uncompiled versions I will say the original author did a fantastic job! The shell code is clean, well executed and easy to follow.
Some improvements are needed for the ports, especially the PIC chip port, but all in all the ports boot without fail 95% of the time. The PIC port needs to be rewritten in PPC/ASM instead of this high level C crap. I imagine with some time someone will rewrite it. Not sure I am up for the task as I know some ASM, but am not nearly advanced enough in it yet to accomplish what is needed.
I will say though, the PIC port is what has me the most excited. Why you ask? Due to someone thinking outside of the box and porting it to a device that is not based on the same chip. PIC chips are fairly common and can accomplish the same task's as the USB ones. The downside is you need to build a PIC programmer. But that is inexpensive and easy to do.
Backup Manager:
It is clunky. Honestly not much else to say about it. I think someone will be rewriting this very very soon. It does the job, but it's ugly and is in need of a GUI overhaul.

External Drives:
This is what IS exciting. When you backup to an external drive (If the game doesn't have individual files over 4gig in length) it backs it up, completely decrypted.
Here is MW2 Structure from an external HD

PSGroove code now includes the ability to peek and poke memory locations and information.
What this means is the ability to read and change anything within LVL2 of the memory... Trainers anyone?
Update #3
Getting MW2 to work was not too bad. I had a little help from a friend as well though.

This one interested me, a log of the games you have booted.
Still think they cannot detect the jailbreak?

He has hacked MW2 already... Read one of his updates he said it wasn't too hard to get it to work....And look at his emblem a spinning skull I know he will have done it anyway because Shiver is freakishly smart :love:

where he said "wasn't too hard getting it to work" - this didnt mean hacks - the game doesnt install properly using backup manager so u have to use the FTP homebrew aswell.
And i dont believe he's hacked it - who doesnt have the skull these days

Well if he didnt hack it why did he post a picture of the spinning skull and block out the name ? Also I don't doubt shiver he's a smart guy could be capable of hacking it and I believe he has from what I heard in the sb 2 weeks ago

im not doubting him, just dont think he has working mods yet.
most moderators on here have the skull from TheUnkn0wn.
The only thing stopping mods is the patch_mp.self

Hmmmmmm, This is awesome. More of what I would want to get into, Btw do you have OpenSSL on your computer by chance, and wireshark?
The reason I ask this is if the Certs that are stored on the Ps3 contain the private key, Then we can simply decrypt the traffik between the server and the Psn.
(I can make you a tut if need be)
Last time I check the Log In Info(Logging into the PSN) was in SSL and TLS protocol!
Also Just read the article about the registry, They say you can change the PsId, Which would be awesome, Since the Psn uses the Ps3 Console Id to Ban the Ps3.
Oh Btw, I do not have MSN due to Legality Issues, and I dont have Aim....... :confused:
